oh my god this f'n movie! haha! I saw this as a kid and hated it but still found it funny.

So not a fan then. Lol.

I loved Pippi! I tried to get my hair like hers. lol

Yay! Did you succeed?

No, they must have put wire in her braids to make them curl up.

She looked like Wendy from the burger chain.

Haha. Good comparison.

It sure is.

Oh now I need to get it. lol

I see it cheap on Amazon. I wouldn't mind either.

That's cool.

I watched it all the time when I was a kid.
